Seventeen years had rolled away.
A republic had gone down in sea
of blood and an empire had risen.
Macmillan was on the throne; the
beautiful Charlotte had surrounded
herself with an imperial court, rival
ling the brilliancy of the one at the
Tuillerics Bazaine's legions cover
ed the land, and it seemed the usur-
pers had come to stay. Among the
Mexican hidalgoes who rallied
around the imperial standard, the
wealthiest and most influential was
undoubtedly Senor Valdez.
"The prediction is coming to pass"
the senior would frequently say to
himself The republic is dead, and
we have u court swimming with
princes. Rita is the most beautiful
woman and the richest heiress in
Mexico. Why should she not be
a princess ? Old Perdita told the
truth"
Rita was presented at court, and
even the empress looked at her in
delighted admiration.
"Your daughter will be prin-
cess !" she whispered to Senior Val
dez, Nho at that moment was look
ing at his gold-laced coat tails in a
mirror.
"She has the noblest blood of
Spain in her veins, replied Valdez
proudly.
"That docs not need to be said,"
answered the empress, taking the
girl by the hand and leading her to
a quiet corner of the salon.
The Senorta Valpez had been ed
ucated by the best European tutors
that her fathers liberal offers could
secure. She was mistress of every
accomplishment. Carlotta made no
secret of the fact that she liked her
better than any ladies around her.
"She will be a princess y old Val
dez would repeat a dozen times a
day.
The senior moved to the capital,
and established himself in a palace.
He raised regiments for Maximilian,

loaned the government money, and
lived on a lavish and extravagant
scale. In his round of pleasure and
excitement Valdez came near for
getting a very important matter.
One night it came upon him with a
shock.
"By all the saints !" he exclaimed
leaping from his bed. SIN one week
from to-day Rita will be eighteen !
What did the old witch say? Her
words all depended on an if. My
daughter will be a princess, it. All,
that if, 1 must see to it at once. If
any danger threatens Rita it is dur
ing the present week"
The senior hastily dressed himself
and ran into his daughters ROOM
Rita was sleeping quietly, and her
face wore the glow of health.
Valdez examined the fastenings of
the windows, and then retired lock-
ing the door and taking the key
with him. The next morning he
told Rita of his fears and secured
her consent to remain indoors for
several days.

man said, as he stroked her head af-
fectionately.

The Calistogian gives this prescrip-
ton its warmest Endorsements. If
you have a horse that is in the habit
of kicking put him in a narrow stall
that has both sides thickly padded.
Suspend a sack filled with hay or
straw so that it will strike his
heels and let the horse and sack
fight it out. Be sure to have things
arranged so that the horse cannot
hurt himself. The sack will be VIC
torious every time and in the end
the horse will absolutely refuse to
kick the sack or anything else.

A BUNCH OF BANANAS.
BY WALLACE p. REED.

"She will be a princess, if"
Juan Vandez leaned forward eag-
erly to hear what the wrinkled old
hag had to say.
The fortune-teller again scrutinized
the innocent baby face before her,
and looked at the little pink palm
extended in her brown, leathery
hand.
"She will be princess, if"
Again she paused with evident re-
luctance.
"Speak !" commanded Senior Val
dez, "Surely the power of your evil
art has not deserted you. If you
can look into the future, tell me
what is to befall my daughter, the
last of her line"
The fortune-teller threw her head
back with q proud air. She was a
very woman. There were people in
Ian Bias who remembered her when
she came to the village three score
and ten years before, and even then
her hair was gray and her face was
wrinkled She claimed to be con-
siderably over century old, and no
one disputed her word.
"Senor Valdez" said the brown
faced sibyl, turning her fierce black
eyes full upon him. 81 knew your
father and his father before him.
For three generations l have been at

nifcent estate in Mexico. viii she

sorrow to my house p
Perdita dropped the tiny hand Of
the pretty child and shaded her eyes
with her hands.
81 see, she murmured, "the proud
est beauty that ever brought her gal
liant cavaliers to her feet. Her gifts
of mind and person are the wonder
and delight of her father and all who
behold her. Something tells me
that she will be princess if she
lives to see her 18th birthday. My
eyes have followed her through her
infancy and childhood, and down to
the night before her fateful day.
Beyond that cannot see. / know
that she will be a princess, if she is
alive on her 18th birthday. But l
know nothing more.
Sorely puzzled and uncertain
whether to be hopeful or despond-
ent, SenoI Valdez gave Perdita a
purse of gold and dismissed her.
